Houston Astros pitcher Ronel Blanco has had quite the start to his 2024 MLB season.
After tossing a no-hitter in his first start against the Toronto Blue Jays, Blanco kept his streak going through 5.2 innings of his second start against the defending champion Texas Rangers.
This is the longest no-hit streak to start a season since at least 1961, per Elias Sports Bureau, and only allowing a single hit through the first 15 innings of a season is also a MLB record, per OptaStats.
The only player in MLB history to throw back-to-back no-hitters was Cincinnati Reds pitcher Johnny Vander Meer in 1938.
